So FINALLY I am at another milestone. 70 pounds are gone for good, and I can't be more thrilled. I'm happier than I've ever been in my whole life. I feel fantastic, my band is, at the moment, in the sweet spot so I can eat a bit of just about anything but food isn't constantly on my mind. I've got thirty more pounds to go before I reach my first goal. I'm a little scared of that- I am still pinching myself that I got to 70 pounds. What will happen next? I'm scared, but I also can't wait!!!

The first picture was at my highest, the second at minus 50 pounds, and the third at minus 70.

The last photo was taken Saturday night in the bathroom of a bar. Classy, huh.

Thanks

Lookin great Megan!! You go girl!! Love to see that big smile on your face!

You look great. Good job! I too was scared when I lost thirty pounds it seems so unreal. I have never lost anything more that 10-15lbs at a time before I got banded. I can't wait until I too am 70 less. I set a goal to lose at least 30 more by my birthday when I turn the big 30 in August. Your picture has inspired me that I can do it.

You guys all make me cry! Thanks for all the kind words. I'm so glad I found this place online to Celebrate successes and discuss challenges. I don't know what I'd do without all of you.

I feel funny being an inspiration for weightloss. I always devowered before and after pictures before I had WLS. Any time I needed inspiration I would look at them and, maybe just for a minute, allow myself to think that maybe I could do it. I still have a bit to go- there are some people who have surgery at the same weight I am now, for pete's sake...but I guess it's all relative.

Penni- thanks so much for fixing those photos for me! You're the best!
